‘Calculated Risk’ Is Taken

On Execution In Wied td

OTTAWA (CP) — External Af- fairs Minister Green said Wednes- day-night Canada took.a ‘“‘caleu- lated risk’’ of increasing world tension by demanding that Hun- gary reveal the truth about re- ported executions.

Mr. Green said in an interview that Canada hoped, by bringing up the matter so strongly Tues- day before the United Wations general —— that fhe at- tendant glare of publicity might help to put a stop at at least some ‘of the executions.

The minister said Canadian au- thorities have definite informa- tion that Hungarians are still be- ing secretly tried and executed for rebellion three years after the Hungarian revolt of October and November, 1956. :

He was asked by a reporter whether he thought it was wise to bring up the subject in the UN at a time when East-West ten- sions have apparently relaxed and a summit meeting is being planned.

“We took a calculated wisk,” said.

‘CPR assistant Comptroller Ho- ward C. Reid went before the royal comission on transporta- tion to outline the history of grants and obligations under the 1897 Crowsnest Pass agreement.

Under this deal, the CPR built a 310-mile rail line from Leth- bridge, Alta., through the Crows- nest Pass in the Rockies to Nel- gon, B.C. The federal government paid $3,404,000 to the CPR as a subsidy to‘help cover the $9,894,- 000 cost of laying the rail line.

CUT RATES

In return, the CPR cut back its freight charges on hauling Prai- rie grain to the Lakehead. Later, Parliament and the board of transport commissioners ex- tended the low rate level to all export grain shipments—east or west—and made it ‘apply to the publicly-owned CNR.

For years now, the OPR has been trying to get rid of the low grain rates. In a brand-new pro- posal fast week the CPR and CNR suggested a solution whereby the federal government would. cover the losses the rail- ways claim they incur under the). Crow structure.

By Emotional Welcome

By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITH Tee DELHI (AP) — Asia’s greatest democracy engulfed President Eisenhower Wednesday night in an emotional welcome. At one stage secret service guards rushed into the car be- side the American leader as wel- comers pressed against it in a display that was at once joyous and terrifying.

Eisenhower came through it all weary but smiling. He told Prime Minister Nehru he was “eomplet- ely overwhelmed.”

Perhaps 1,500,000 Indians joined in the biggest welcome this coun- try has given a foreign visitor.

The throngs crumpled police lines, repeatedly halting the blue open convertible in which Eisen- hower was riding with Nehru.

India, peace - making President | Eisenhower may face one of- the | toughest assignments of his lrent tour.

The Indians welcomed the American president with a tre-| mendows, spontaneous roar of friendship for the man they were! told was a “messenger of, peace.”

The joyous welcome overshad- owed the grim warning voiced only the day before by neutralist Prime Minister Nehru that India must be able to produce as as well as butter.

Two topics will be high on ‘the agenda when the leaders from East and West get down to ser- ious talks — the Chinese border troubles and the nagging Kash- mir dispute.

LITTLE HELP

On the surface it appears Eisenhower and his country will be able to do little to help the Indians deal with ‘the first.

In the Indian Parliament, when Nehru issued his warning, he re- iterated his belief in non-align- ment. He gave the elected repre- sentatives of his country a brief lesson in geography.

Whether India likes it or not, China was her neighbor over thousands of miles and there was no getting away from it. This compulsion of geography meant that India would have to undergo austerity, berets and hard work.

On the “escond point, the Ameri-

can leader probably will be able to do little more than impress on Nehru the’ importance to the Free World of improved rela-|

The importance of good farm management was stressed by Mr. Shaw. “There will be a new ap- proach in our agricultural exten- sion services,’’ the premier said. “Our agricultural field men will be well versed in farm manage- ment so they will be able to ad- vise and direct the farmers into channels that can give them a profit on their production,” he added.

ONE BREED

The premier said there is a job in Prince Edward Island in dir- ecting the work of artificial in- semination so that communities can be built up around one kind of breed. Mr. Shaw said he ex- pected to secure very shortly the services of an outstanding direc- tor of livestock for the province.

Mr. Shaw said there is a new awakening in the province, a turning in—not a looking out to the federal government for hand- outs—to see what agricultural as- ‘sets are under our control and what methods are best to de- velop them. “I can see Prince Edward Island as ‘a wonderful province of production and work- ing together we can go forward to make this province truly the greatest province in Canada,”’ he

said.
